German NewspapersInteresting And Diverse

German newspapers and especially Berlin ones are various in types and are an interesting source of information
about this great city and Germany in general.

Some information about them could be useful for you to explore more of the capital of Germany
and probably you will find something of interest for yourself.

In general Berliners are politically engaged and always try to be up to date about the World and local politic developments.

It is normal that guests can spend half of the evening
discussing serious political and domestic issues. It might happen that
they turn out to be from the different political sides but it does not
matter usually for the relationships. They continue to be good.

It means that Berliners are not only tolerant in regard of
sexual orientation of people but the political one as well. But the most
important
thing is that they are open to discuss in public their point of view
and share or disagree with the opinion of the other side.
The only thing Berliners will not like to discuss is the amount of the
salary they earn (some little secrets we can share with you).

So let's shortly go through the overview of the most popular German newspapers in Berlin.

We should also note that population of other cities and especially villages like to read about Berlin and other German news.

Of course, some newspapers can have very local character and
will not be usually interesting to people if they are concentrated on
issues of very
peculiar character.

Such newspapers locals receive free of charge. And many ungrateful citizens even have a notice on their
post box that they do want any newspapers and advertising.

There are a lot of newspapers on the market of Berlin. So, as we want to write about the regional
ones in German language published in Berlin, we will describe only some of the most popular as we already mentioned.

In Berlin even schools can have their own newspapers. Children can have a course how to make a newspaper and they can
manage to publish their school newspaper
which they sell later to the other children who are not so much resourceful.

So, you can imagine that many people can have ideas to publish a newspaper but not all manage to be successful.

There are existing much more local news papers and
papers from local organizations. We should also mention that taking
into account that
Berlin is a multinational city, it has a lot of newspapers in Turkish,
Russian and other languages.

There are additionally 2 journals about Berlin: tip and zitty.

German newspapers are also experiencing difficulties as other newspapers around the world-being pushed by the new and more
aggressive player-Internet. But they still manage to be interesting to the population and find the way to survive converting to
digital pages.

The wind of change has also touched this sphere and due to total
computerization of Germany it will be tough relationship
but looks like old German newspapers will somehow find their way in the
future of Germany even if locals do not read that much in a public
transport as
in the past.
